    Maybe a bookkeeper or two ... Exactly How many Americans do you think are going to move to Ukraine to mine in a warzone?

    Once the minerals deal is done it is no longer a war zone.

    Nope. Just information.

    Why did you say Ukraine can't extract minerals on their own?

    You just think Russia will do something to piss of America under this administration? We have a fundamental difference of opinion if you believe they will which isn’t surprising. Look it was fun for a while today going back and forth. I’m going to enjoy my weekend and drink some beer before the Gator baseball game.

    Its more of a question of can Russia do anything that would piss us off under this administration.

    The russians don't want resources or land, or people. They just wanted to get rid of the nazis.

    Fair statement. I tend to believe they could if they harm Americans.

    Who gave the javelins in 2017 after Obama refused? If he was so aligned with Russia why would he do that?

    Having U.S. workers in the middle of a war zone based on the hope they won’t get bombed assuming Putin (or the Russian military) wouldn’t dare attack them just isn’t logical. Especially as it's a trade of mining for armaments being used against Russia. Putin has plenty of ways to escalate indirectly—just as he has in Europe. He could also simply bomb our workers and call it an “accident.” Or what if it was an accident.

    basing a strategy on hoping that hundreds of U.S. workers won’t be killed in an active war zone is dangerous.
    and if they do, our threat is the theme we go to war for corporation profits.
    No reasonable leader would sign off on that. We all know Trump is a loose cannon and he wouldn’t send workers to the middle of a war zone for better corp profits.

    And Trump's constant lying about it will not change that fact although his willfully ignorant supporters of MAGA nation believe everything that he says and his cowed Republican supporters in Congress probably do know better but do not have the cojones to dispute anything that the Dear Leader says.

    You wish.
    By any measure of sanity, (ability to behave in a normal, rational manner) this administration's approach to dealing with other nations' leaders is
    BONKERS.
    In no time at all, we've become the embodiment of an isolationist nation. We will lose - not gain - more global and political influence and economic opportunity.
    Thanks MAGA.
